In the 1870s, Degas became interested in working in pastels, which allows not only the transfer form to the main line, stroke, contour, with only a few tones tint pattern, but also to create complex real painting colors. Degas liked to claim that pastels made him "colorist by line." This technique is ideally suited to the artist who prefers the color line. His free, bold style drawing of broken strokes, sometimes leaving the show through the pastel tone paper or adding oil or watercolor brush strokes, to develop over the years, captivated many painters. Our invention, the experimenter is softening pastels steam, after which it could shade with a brush or your fingers. Degas wrote using this technique fabric of very large size, a lot more has ever produced before him, sometimes stitching for this several sheets together to got the desired surface. But in the days of the first Impressionist exhibition of his views and aspirations were not supported by colleagues who pursued only for the color. "I always tried to encourage my colleagues to pay more attention to the new ways in the drawing that I admire more fruitful field of activity than the area of color. But they did not listen to my advice and chose a different path "- recalled Degas in his diary.
